Their eyes briefly locked, and what began as a casual gaze gradually blossomed into a surprising warmth in her heart.
And without her knowing, she admitted, "Well... Zach, maybe because I feel comfortable around you." She paused with a smile, "And you helped me a few times."
This time, there was no hesitation in her words. They were simple and honest.
And her words earned a quiet smile from him.
But, once again, silence lingered between them.
After a moment, Zachary asked, "Sienna, about your family issue..." His tone remained calm as he continued, "My offer is still valid. If you ever need my assistance, just let me know. I'll do my best to help."
Sienna was taken aback.
She still remembered Zachary offering to help her with her family matters, but in the past, she had thought he was just pretending. Now, searching for even the tiniest sign in his gaze, she found nothing. He seemed genuinely sincere in his offer.
"Thank you. I still remember that…"
